Hi I am an developer with more than a decade of experience behind me in languages like C/C++, as well as Java and C#. I am trying my hand at Android now, and am a complete newbie in this area. To this end I am trying to set up the Android development environment on Eclipse on my Windows 7 system. This is an Android SDK installation question.
I already had Eclipse Helios on my system since I am a Java developer; to this I further installed the Android SDK as well as the ADT plugin by downloading it. So far so good. The problem is that my Internet connection is very, very unreliable, and it keeps breaking every once in a while. Unfortunately, installing the AVDs and the 3rd party addons within the Eclipse IDE has become a real pain for me, since it's taking it's own sweet time to get downloaded. I just wanted to know, wouldn't there be a simple archive that could be downloaded and installed offline? The rate at which it is downloading, I guess it may complete in the next 12 hours or so, that is *if* I am lucky and the connection does not break. Had there been an archive, I could have used my download manager to download it in very little time (comparatively). I am extremely exasperated since this has taken a whole day of effort from me, and it's nowhere near completion. I think these guys at Google have assumed that everyone in the world has a blazing fast connection. In India, we still have very slow and unreliable connections, unfortunately. I have been trying for the better part of the day to install Android on Eclipse and I really would appreciate any help. Thanks in anticipation. With best regards.
